Michael Wiecek's novel EXIT STRATEGY (2005) was hailed by
Lee Child as "a fantastic debut - as smart as a whip, as
fast as a bullet." Mike sold his first story, "The New
Lawyer," in 2000; it was subsequently anthologized, and won
a Derringer Award in 2001. His second story, "The Good
Daughter," was nominated for a Shamus Award by the Private
Eye Writers of America. He went on to publish numerous
other short stories before beginning THE OUTSIDE MAN, which
was shortlisted for the PWA's 2004 Best First PI Novel
award.

Mike grew up in Missouri and spent several years in
Asia. He has worked as an ambulance medic, Tokyo salaryman,
Massachusetts bureaucrat, construction laborer, and
financial manager. He now lives outside Boston with his
family, and is a stay-at-home dad for their two
preschoolers.
